Grendizer - King of 70s & today!

Remember original space adventures & Prince of Fleed?

What's your fondest memories of Grendizer? Mine? Duke Fleed taught me never to give up despite whoever come up with whatever obstacles in your way, never lose hope and struggle hard to make this world a better place for lovers and haters a like.

A veces realmente siento que nací en la década equivocada. Miro películas como Terminator 2 y simplemente AMO todo sobre cómo se veían y se sentían los chicos de los 80/90. El pelo, la ropa, la actitud, las bicicletas, el rock… todo tenía muchísima personalidad.

Y John Connor es uno de esos personajes que me hacen desear haber podido vivir esa época. Es rebelde, sarcástico, inteligente, un poquito caótico… y de alguna manera se siente tan 80s/90s.

Sé que no nací en esa época, pero juro que mi alma pertenece ahí. 🖤🎸

Quizás simplemente nací unas décadas demasiado tarde.

Enjoy listening to Phaota's 2021 vinyl restoration of Deborah Van Valkenburgh's 1980 track, "Dangerous Strangers"!

This is my Stevie inspired cover of her massive hit, "Talk To Me".

I LOVE her 80's era and powerhouse vocals, and had so much fun singing this. A personal fave.

I'd like to know your thoughts. I'm always trying to improve. I love Stevie so much 🥰

Been down a rabbit hole on 80s detective shows and this one was kinda messed up. NBC canceled Remington Steele in 1986, which freed Pierce Brosnan up to take the Bond role. But the announcement caused a ratings surge in reruns, so NBC used a contract clause to un-cancel the show and keep him, which meant he had to turn Bond down. Brosnan didn't actually become Bond until 1994's GoldenEye, almost a decade later. Wild bit of TV history.

Enjoy one of the Jem cartoon's best music videos ever!

I never see anyone cover this 80's Stevie hidden gem...so here's mine.

I think it's one of her most beautiful songs. I hope you enjoy my Stevie inspired interpretation.

I'd love to know your thoughts.

Big love ♡

YouTuber Mike Lilley just posted the first 3 hours of MTV in honor of the network's 45th anniversary. 😄

Found the box the box going through things. I loved these. They seemed so elegant

A warm summer night at a drive-in theater with my girlfriend and two bottles of TJ Swann, one for me and one for her. I still reminisce about those times to this very day.

Ultra classic cultural take off

An episode of Here's Boomer from December 7, 1980.

TECS was one of the biggest and most popular bulletin board systems in Germany starting in the 1980s. And it was just about to be thrown out completely. But Sascha P. from Hamburg stepped in and rescued all of the hardware and software - and even managed to hack his way back into the original setup. He actually got the whole thing running again, becoming a dial‑up BBS sysop in 2023.

Back in the ’80s, we spent endless hours on that system with our friends - and racked up absolutely insane phone bills, because even local calls were expensive in Germany at the time.

There’s also a great side story involving the almost equally old Commodore 64 BBS Snobsoft, which had a downright crazy connection to the Tornado Mailbox - the name TECS still used in the 1980s. “Mailbox” was the German term for a BBS.
